Google This – 13 Years of World Domination Visualized
September 15, 1997. That was the day Larry Page and Sergey Brin officially registered the domain google.com, and the internet was never the same.
Because true inspiration – and innovation – can really transform the World, today we bring a selection of data-visualizations that show how Google stepped up to be the giant that we all know today. I also recommend a visit at Wikipedia’s article for a more “text” version of this incredible path.

How Google Buzz is Gaining Many Early Followers
Since Google Buzz launched a few months ago, it has had some very impressive early adopters. Mashable and TechCrunch have been the first of many larger blogs to jump on board, with many smaller blogs following suit.
But just how has Google ramped up enough media coverage and PR to have such a successful launch? Clearly we can consider Buzz still in its beta stages, as there are many steps this feature can take in a new direction. I’ve got a few thoughts for Google as well, and I would love to see Buzz grow into a Twitter-like clone over the next few months.

jsPlumb – plumb elements of a UI together
jsPlumb is jQuery plugin that allows us to connect elements on the screen with “plumbing”, using a Canvas element when supported, and Google’s ExplorerCanvasscript to support older browsers. It’s written as a jQuery plugin, and relies on jQuery 1.3.x or jQuery 1.4.x (tested on 1.3.2 and 1.4.2), and also jQuery UI 1.7.2 (if you want to support dragging). For Canvas support in IE you also need to include Google’s ExplorerCanvas script.
